I PLAYED THE BEST TANK FROM OLD TOP TIER - IS-3 in War Thunder
Ойындар
The IS-3 in War Thunder was once Top Tier. Now it sits almost right in the middle as a former relic facing modern era vehicles, HEAT-FS, APFSDS, Laser Range Finders and ATGM's.
What was once an almost invincible wall of steel is now reduced to a giant Silver Lion Pinata. Today, I take the IS-3 out to revisit it to see if it still has the metal to stand up against the new War Thunder Meta!
Spoilers: It doesn't! :)

DO NOT USE BR-471D! USE BR-471B! The B round is ungodly again angles, the main point of the 122mm. Do not trust the stat card, D round WILL bounce on even the slightest angles, it is wholly unreliable against all the tanks at the BR, the only point the D round had was to go through maus turrets, which it no longer can, its useless, at most carry 1 or 2 rounds of it, and the rest B rounds.

USSR bad? really? how?! the fastest tank T 44-100 can easy flank and get 5 kills doing that.. the is series tanks are hard targets to get.. especially the is3... they have the power to take a kill from distance over Germany and US.. especially US.. they melt them down... so .. i believe you have to know your enemy to kill your enemy more efficient ..if a soviet team snow balls your team.. you lost the game from the first 4 min.. in .. without any option to return.. in game.. if the soviet team is holding back the game will be long and will be hard to win.. if you crack the soviet team.. in to pieces will crumble.. just like that.. cause the most of the people move to the same cap.. or area.. is easy to see how the match will go from the first 4 kills in the feed

Ya the B round is way better than the D shell. I keep 2 D shells for extremely far away tiger 2s and maus Side shots the D does do better against those targets at range.
I don't understand why gaijin doesn't just have the air spawns set as.. props start at 7km and jets at 14km and maybe a middle ground for early jets as some arn't overly fast. such a simple fix instead of making props fly so far on some br's and jets spawn so close on others.

I was lucky enough to see (and hear) this amazing machine at tankfest in 2018. Was by far the best sounding vehicle there. Simply Thunderous!
I remember when I first got the KT 105 back in 2014 and trying to pen the front of an IS-3 on Karelia. Bruh the struggle was real
In this video odd plays one of my favorite tanks despite the power creep. Thank you odd I somehow got a nuke in it in a full uptier. It isn't my kind of tank but somehow I do well in it and love it to bits.
I always get a good laugh and see some game play at a level I will never achieve. Love the content, from back in the twitch days to the future. thank you sir for all you do.
So funny 23:56 @OddBaWz saying I don't know this area over here. After all these years of playing always sticking to the same place on every map 😁 I feel ya, I go to the same places on maps as well and it's like a whole other world when you drive your tank into them spots you barely ever go into.
The is-3 is actually what I got my second nuke on, it still has a special place in my heart as an absolute monster of a tank even in full uptiers :))

For some unknown reasons they die pretty easily to the 150 mm 1.0 br spa... even if the armour simulazion says that they are resistant to HE shells.
I really love your videos, it makes me wanna play WT again and again
Ahh...yes my beloved is-3 how much I've missed you
Can we get a vid on the IS-4? I am really struggling to understand why the thing is at the BR it is with no stabilizer and a 24 sec reload....
All that Heat and missiles are really unfair to heavy tanks :(
“Oh it’s the big scary French thing, the dead big scary French thing” that had me laughing as always a good video.
Can you play SU-122P, its a premium tank destroyer for USSR that sits at 5,7 with the same shell as IS-3. Amazing litle turtle to play personaly.
Ah the IS-3. The tank i didnt expe t to pen with my AMX-50 superbias but did.
You could feel the rage and desperation of that M163 trying to hit your cannon barrel. XD
2:24 What is wrong with shoting down ballons? 😮
Odd in an IS-3? YES PLEASE! My all time favorite tank with my favorite WT CC behind the wheel(levers?)
i love the way you say 'in this video we play with a giant metal dumplin'. amazing accent
i miss the old 122mm "DOINK" sound when firing
That machine gun joke you made got me cracked bro!!!🤣🤣🤣
This thing is a 1 tank army in the right circumstances. I managed to retake caps that were abandoned by my team on my own against more than a few enemy vehicles.
It's still sort of admirable even put into the 7.3 line. It still cast pain to the Pershing and Tiger ll
IS 3 is an amazing tank
After is1 is2 and is2(1944) i absolutely loved is3, it's a relief to reach until is3

Nuthin better than getting a snapshot on an lS3’s driver hatch
I just woke up and this is the first thing I saw. Badger’s seal on top of an is-3.
Still a menace to any shell but heatfs
I feel like if you have to ask, "Is it cheeky to...", then it's probably cheeky. I'm here for it though.
is3 still op at 7.3. Few tanks can pen it for the front. Only APDS and Heat can while there is a big weakspot on the t32 the mg port which any shell can pen.
I die a lot on the move with the IS-3. Feels like I can never reach a position to fire my gun
The 25th time i have Kindly requested OddBawZ to play that one tank on KZread
Came back after almost a year because I got a kill on one last night with an HE shell from the M109. I didn't think that it would kill it and it popped up right in front of me, I shot purely from instinct and hit the top of the turret and overpressured him
Facing IS3's and IS6's in my T95 is always fun. Most don't realize that shooting the cupola is the easiest way to kill a tutel, so watching them not being able to kill you is fun.

I complain about my M103 having around a 15 second reload with an ace crew, so yeah I wouldn't play this IS3 ever.
THE SEAL PROP ON YOUR TANK! I still use it too!
Played well the is3 is still a pain in the ass to kill except when it gets a full uptier but nothing does well in a full uptier.
Bane of my existence, when I do the protection analysis of the is3 against my tank it says it can pen all but a few places on the front, (using a 120m with 480mm pen) but I swear 80% of the time I shoot it I get no pen or shell shattered or if it does pen XD It does no damage, I have to side shot it
Play the IS-4 next

Volumetric Shells is one of the most horribly Implemented game mechanics ever. It completely negated a Historical Exploit on the Panther D and A which allowed for the 75mm M3 to kill them from the Hull Roof by shooting the lower part of the gun mantlet. Shot traps are basically Nonexistent now due to how Volumetrics works and it directly buffs certain vehicles that had issues with things like Shot Traps in real life.

One match I was in my Tiger 2 105. Came around a rock and saw an IS3 sitting on the capture point. Saw his turret slew around so his barrel was facing me. (I have my gunsight set to the gunners position). I knew i had one shot, or i was dead. Shot my round into the shot trap right under the barrel and into the hull roof, and killed the IS3. If someone knows the weak spot, they can exploit it.
